I'm Canadian. I highly doubt I pay more than $15k in taxes to get my free healthcare.

I bet you get tons of free bonuses too: roads, public education, pensions... Damn, seems like this whole government thing is quite efficient, with the no shareholders taking profits and stuff.

European healthcare is something like 6k€ per year and person, the USA is around 14k€ (because leechers and parasites in the system).

We also obviously do mutualise the efforts so even the bum living under the bridge gets the same treatments. We all put in an effort according to what we can, as we are living in a society. What a way to control the masses in the USA. Horrifying.
